About

Providing deaf education since 2007

Providing education from foundation, all the way to level 6

Since 2007, we have helped many students achieve learning the basics of British Sign Language (BSL) on our Foundation course, continuing up to a Level 6 NVQ Certificate in BSL.
We offer this in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging environment where the length of the courses range from one day (Basic Deaf Awareness) to one year in duration.

We keep the size of all classes small and intimate in order to provide maximum support and as much individual tutor attention as possible. As well as teaching a range of courses at the centre, we also provide training to schools and to public service personnel at a time and venue to suit you.

Testimonials

I’ve loved BSL Level 6 and would definitely recommend others to train using the Fylde Coast BSL Centre. It’s a very positive learning environment with encouraging tutors and an excellent member of the supporting staff

It’s definitely given me the confidence and the ability to go and communicate with any deaf person I meet. The more you mix with the deaf community the better your receptive skills become and the more your confidence grows.

Foundation Course May 2015 I found it really fun and enjoyable. Becky made it easier to learn with her style. I think it was taught at the appropriate pace as Becky made sure (via feedback) what speed to go at. Very good course. Outstanding teacher. Very keen to continue this course towards Level 1.
